Saratoga Springs, NY - John Alden Fuller passed into the arms of our Savior on Wednesday, March 18, 2015, surrounded by family and friends, following a very long illness. Born on Feb. 28, 1943 in Saratoga Springs, he was the son of the late Henry Bartlett Fuller and Lillian Knickerbocker Fuller and a lifelong resident. A 1962 graduate of Saratoga Springs High School, he was a US Marine Corps veteran and served during the Vietnam War era. John worked as a fork lift operator for the GE Silicone Plant in Waterford, NY, retiring in 2001. In addition to his parents, John was predeceased by his sister, Ann Papke and his infant son, Michael Anthony Fuller. John's battle with diabetes and dialysis lasted for ten years, yet he never despaired, not even at the end of his long struggle. Survivors include his wife of 48 years, Deborah (Mangini) Fuller: two children, John (Ariane) Fuller of Wilton and Jennifer Fuller of South Glens Falls; two grandchildren, Jack and Allison Fuller and several nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank Dr. Rodney Ying, Dr. Theodoros Laddis, Dr. William O'Connor and especially Dr. Rachid Daoui and the ICU staff at Saratoga Hospital for their compassion and loving care they showed John for the last month. They would also like to thank the nursing angels at Rubin Dialysis Center in Saratoga Springs for ten years of unselfish and loving care. Relatives and friends may call from 4 to 7pm Monday (Mar. 23, 2015) at the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing and Cunniff Funeral Homes, 628 North Broadway 584-5373.
